AlbumDrop release path
A Free Release Credit covers one never-public AlbumDrop draft with 180 days of public access and free-release limits. Free and Promotional Credits cannot renew or restore an album that has already been public.
A Paid Release Credit costs R249. It gives one selected AlbumDrop album a 365-day public Release Pass from publication, supports scheduling, and can renew or restore that same album without changing its URL.
Checkout return is not payment confirmation: the creator wallet refreshes from the server and shows a Paid Release Credit only after provider verification. Mixdrop is a separate paid product and never consumes AlbumDrop Release Credits.
Purchased Paid Release Credits that remain available and unredeemed may be requested for refund within 14 calendar days. Redeemed credits and active or future Release Passes are not routinely refundable. See the Terms for exceptions and full details.
Self-serve is included. Human help is optional.
For established musicians, DJs, and serious releases: community strategy, membership design, launch tuning, and hands-on support.
Are you selling music?
No. AlbumDrop helps musicians and DJs build direct supporter relationships; downloads are optional thank-you perks.
How are platform fees applied?
Platform fees are charged per support payment based on your plan.
How long does Starter stay live?
Package limits and release capacity depend on the current plan configuration. Check the pricing cards above for the latest package details before you publish.
Why show ZAR first?
AlbumDrop is priced for South African artists first, with room to support global fans.
Do you store supporter emails?
Only with consent. You can export your supporter list on Pro.
Can fans stream instead?
Yes. Streaming is always available; downloads are optional perks.
Do you offer done-for-you launches?
Yes. The Premium Launch lane is a white-glove service for teams that want strategy and launch execution support.
